1. Can people trust me to do what’s right?
2. Am I committed to doing my very best?
3. Do I treat people the way I want to be treated?

 “ If the answers to these questions are YES, there is no way you can fail.”

By: Lou Holtz

What is meant in such a statement is that if you do what’s right then there is no way any wrong will come to you. I have interpreted the failure part as a way to say that wrong will come to you as well as failure. If you do what is right all the time you will have done what you are entitled to as a human. To be a CTR person is better than anything because by choosing the right you block out any of those things that can amount to failure. The first rule Lou Holtz states is that we should have people be able to trust us to do what is right. If people trust us, then they have our backs.  They know that we are trustworthy and I can only see good coming from such an image. The second is commitment to doing your best. If you do your best you will have a better shot at doing it right then you will if you just don’t try. Along with being the best you can be you will also become better at it. My coach once told me that practice doesn’t make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. An example that ties into the statement because if you do something just to do it and hope to be the best that is not going to work. You will receive failure. Now, when you practice perfectly and put your best you will get the hang of it and develop special skills that not a lot of people can. That perfect practice where you do your best will ensure triumph. The third rule is to treat people the way you would like to be treated and you will be treated like so. That is because people will reciprocate that same behavior that is shown to them. The good will come back to you shielding yourself from failure. Lou later states that if you answer yes to the questions then the result will not be failure. This is all logical. I mean, if people actually behave like humans then there should be no reason as to why any harm should come your way.I believe that God never intended there to be any harm it is us who make the wrong and if anyone can change it it is us.  He is a merciful God and will forgive as long as you truly believe you are wrong and wholeheartedly repent your actions. He will then accept your change in character and reward you with how you make others feel. Those people will then treat you as you treat them.
